That is, of the co-generation, the water boiling capacity is maximized of the water boil heat exchanger 70 as the heat of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 130 and the supply heat exchanger 68 is transferred to the water boil heat exchanger 70 through the heat transfer path 170, and the consumption electricity of the compressor 52 is reduced as the refrigerant of the heat pump type air conditioner 50 is condensed at the supply heat exchanger 68.

The co-generation controls the refrigerant to or not to pass through the outdoor heat exchanger 60 as well as operating the heat pump type air conditioner 50 to be air-cooling mode when the heat pump type air-conditioner is under the air-cooling mode without request of water boiling as illustrated in FIG. 3, and controls that the heat medium in the heat transfer path 170 is circulated through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 130 and supply heat exchanger 68.

The over heating in the inside of the engine unit EN is prevented as the heat of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 130 is radiated at the waste heat recovery heat exchanger through the heat transfer path 170, and the consumption electricity of the compressor 52 is minimized as the condensing capacity of the heat pump type air conditioner 50 is increased.

On the other hand, when the heat pump type air conditioner 50 is under the air warming mode without water boiling request, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the co-generation passes the refrigerant through the outdoor heat exchanger 60 as well as operating the heat pump type air-conditioner 50 to be air warming mode, and controls the heat medium in the heat transfer path 170 to be circulated through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 130 and water heat exchanger 70 or, as illustrated in FIG. 5, controls the refrigerant not to be circulated through the outdoor heat exchanger 60 as well as operating the heat pump type air conditioner 50 to be the air warming mode, and controls the heat medium in the heat transfer path 170 to be circulated through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 130, water boil heat exchanger 70, and the supply heat exchanger 68.

The heat medium flown into the water boil heat exchanger 70 heats the water boil heat exchanger 70 as transferring heat, and passes through or by passes the radiant heat exchanger 160 in accordance with the temperature condition of the system.

The heat medium passed through or bypassed the radiant heat exchanger 160 is supplied to the supply heat exchanger 68 through the supply heat exchanger bypassing valve 204, evaporates the refrigerant as heating the refrigerant passing through the supply heat exchanger 68, and is circulated to the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 130.
